I have had to defend my marriage twice this week.
Once, to a peer. And another, to a close relative.
Both circumstances alluded to “the long haul” of marriage – whether or not we could “make it” for over 50 years. Whether or not we will last because we’re young.
Let me say this loud and clear.
Kris and I are joined forever. Man and wife. Bonded before the Lord. ONE with Him.
There is no other option or alternative.
We will be married until the day we die.
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Ephesians 5:24-33

We need more Christians dedicated to marriage like you two. I don’t know you but I can tell that you love God and each other. People should be encouraging you to be commited to each other. Stand by your man. You Go, Girl!!!
You go girl!!! This marriage thing is very hard but awesome. It can be a true picture of how Christ loves us and His church. I’m 30 and its so refreshing to hear someone close to my age defend marriage the way you did here.
